[PATCH wireless 01/10] wifi: mac80211: don't allow injecting frames wider than the chanctx
From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
Date: 2026-09-04 15:01:15

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>
Frames injected on a monitor interface can carry a radiotap
field requesting a bandwidth, which mac80211 passes down to
the driver regardless of the the actual operational bandwidth.
If the bandwidth requested is too wide, that triggers a warning
in hwsim:
WARN_ON(hwsim_get_chanwidth(bw) > hwsim_get_chanwidth(confbw))
Drop such frames entirely instead since they cannot be sent.
